Optical Lenses

QIMA offers HOKLAS accredited lab tests and dedicated quality control resources to help ensure compliance of optical lenses with all applicable standards.

Eyewear Expertise – QC for Optical Lenses

Optical lenses are traditionally purchased by opticians and optical retailers, to be used in everyday optics, prescription sunglasses, driving glasses, custom-made reading glasses, and other types of prescription eyewear made to order. Compliance of ophthalmic lenses is paramount to the quality, performance and corrective properties of the finished eyewear.

According to European Directive 2007/47/EC (formerly 93/42/EEC), optical lenses are categorized as a medical device.

QIMA offers the full scope of lab tests and quality control procedures for optical lenses, including dimension, mechanical, optical, radiation, aging, and other tests.
